Glyphosate Testing Data for Gerber Baby Food

Baby food is one of the highest-scrutiny categories for pesticide residues, given infants' vulnerability. EWG's 2022 testing included select baby food products, finding measurable residues in oat-based baby cereals. Gerber's oatmeal whole grain baby cereal ranked at 160 ppb in the 2022 round — at the EWG child-safe benchmark threshold.
